Need Responsible Birdsitter on Oahu, Hawaii

Hi all-
our bird Izzy is an adorable and loving ringneck and needs a sitter while we visit family in the mainland US.

Can any responsible bird owners on Oahu help?? Our birdsitter has moved, and we need to find a responsible bird owner here.

We will be traveling Dec 19-Jan 04

Kind regards
